BPS: Doh! Now I see the second post/pic you have of a side view. And two more wires along with it! (didn't notice the thread started a new page)

I like the curly sata as well! Might not work as good with several HD sata cables, but like an old timer once said at DIY Street, "If ya can't hide it (a wire) and it's gonna be visible, make it look purdy!".
